cricinfo Barring Lahore Qalandar............. Consider this - how often in a league tournament do you see the points table reading thus - 10, 9, 8, 7, 6. That's how incredibly well-fought this tournament has been.

Regardless of the situation and team requirement, Babar always bats the same.

He can have the perfect technique and all but he will never be anywhere close to Kohli as he lacks mentally. Babar is unable to understand the game thus doesn't look to even rotate the strike at times.

Babar is playing a Shezzi style innings infact just like most promising Pakistani batsmen who give us false hope ,after a dream start they bloody nose dive, Baber is such a nice natural timer but wants smash it!!

The new trend seems like Pakistani batsman have a two year expiration date before they began to regress.

It's actually old trend.

An U23 batsman comes with natural ability - for 1st few games, he survives on that until experienced bowlers/teams take notice and start to work on their game (counter strategy). It's always same for every batsman, in fact every sport. Now, the youngsters will also work on their game, mentoring, coaching, develop game intelligence .... those who can develop that can float around for years, even decades.

For PAK's case (batsman), for last 25 years, I can name at least 10-12 kids starting with a bang, then fade away - take a pick - S Elahi, SKabir, Md. Wasim, Nazir, Faisal, Taufique, Umar, Ahmed, Fakhar ..... The reason being, after 1/2 years in International circuits, these players are called on their loop holes by top pros - unfortunately they have only 2 places to go for fixing that - Quaid E Azam style or Basit Ali ......
